Meanwhile HEAT poultry stock along with cloves and the halved garlic clove in a small saucepan and let it simmer on low heat without a lid. Let it simmer until you’ve reached the desired thickness.

TRANSFER the turkey to an oven dish and ROAST in the oven for about half an hour. The center should be at least 70 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Fahrenheit) because poultry shouldn’t be rosé.
